New description of Holkham, the magnificent seat of T.W. Coke, Esq. M.P. : containing a full and accurate account of the paintings, statues, tapestry, &c. : with a picturesque tour of the gardens and park : embellished with a view of the south front
A guidebook published in 1826 by H. Neville of Wells for visitors to Holkham, the seat of T.W. Coke, MP, describing its paintings, statues, tapestry, gardens and park. The pictures are plain engraved views: one shows a wooded river bank with dense trees in dark crosshatched tone, and the other shows the long south front of Holkham Hall in pale stone with a carriage and figures on the lawn, with a tree framing the foreground. A designer could take from them the simple engraved landscape treatment of trees and water, and the strict symmetry of a classical country house facade.
